So I decided to have a go at making some weight hanger wheels for my herja project. Almost sorted now. Just a little adjustment and they will be done.

Day off so applying the decals (stickers!) on the Ranger Shell.
But..Now I’ve done one side I’m not sure how keen I am. 🤔
What do we think folks?
With, or without?
(As a side note, this could just be laziness because I hate this part of prepping a shell and can’t be arsed to do the other side 🤣)
Looks loads better with the decals.

Oh hell I didn't let her know I used them. Ha
Last night's prints came out as close to perfect as I can get id say. A tiny amount of mess. And vere little over spilled filement.

I used the wife's good kitchen scales to see how heavy my herja build is. At running weight it's 2kg give or take a few grams. 4.5 pounds for the old school lot . I could easily drop a good amount off if I wanted. But I think this is a good spot to be in.

Rear hangers sorted. Now have 4 slots for the slugs. So wth brass it holds 80 grams across the 2 sides.

Try gspeed UK on Facebook. They have loads of stuff available. Or is it that Chassis you want? If so I have no idea.

Would you consider a trade for RC part's at all.

The ar60 servo mount is done. And started work on a set of cheap glue on 2.2 wheels not finished yet. But a basic idea for a set anyway.

Yesterday the post men where nice. Lots of items. A set of proline ibex tyres for my sporty. Some titanium rod to make links for people. And a ton of smaller parts to restock my parts.
And a brand new car for my son to have. He went crazy when he realised what it was. His first proper RC car.

That car is a 3 year sale in the UK. I'd guess it's long gone by now.

Didn't spot that. No worries then

A few orders placed for my chassis. Helping a friend build a sporty with my chassis and some spare parts. He is super excited to be building one. I also have 2 more chassis sets on order to put together if anyone is interested in.

Got the herja out at breakheart quarry in dursley this morning with a group of people. about 20 if us with all sorts of cars. A total of around 100 gates set up accros the site. The herja did brilliantly. Hit everything and didn't have any issues climbing over it all. No issues with the car. Nothing Broken or fell off. Was a brilliant test for it. No videos sorry. I was having to much fun to remember ha. Next time definitely get have some.

Well I sort of did make my own car.well the chassis for it. And the wheels. I also plan to design the gearbox and a set of axles for it later on. It's a sporty rock crawler. So designed to climb as well as possible. And forgoes scale looks good for abilitys.

After a lot of rude words. 4 different test items. And a lot of messing about and a nice headache my pro44 link riser is finished. Not the most tidy item. But it's good enough for now. Time to print a final one off and get it fitted. Also sorted the weight hangers last night. Added 40mm to the axle. One more job sorted off the list.
Have already fixed the issue with the 2 small holes in the weight hangers. Moved them slightly. Getting some slugs made for it next week.

So last night I set the links up better and today took the car back to the park with the rock garden. Gave the car a good bashing on the rocks. It did brilliantly. Climbed over stuff with ease. I am more then happy with the set up now. Just need a few little bits to finish it off. One or 2 weights in rear wheels to help with grip and dropping off edges. And get a better throttle curve on the br mini. As it currently isn't brilliant. No video as unfortunately I'm on my own and didn't bring anything to hold the phone to film it. My bad. Very very little torque twist in the back. Suspension flows over rocks well. And now I vented the tyres they do work well. This rock doesn't have much grip at all. Years of people walking on them have made them nice and smooth. All my printed parts held up really well. Nothing split or cracked even with a very low infill amount.
The wheels held the tyres fast. Even when it was pushed into an overhang rock and the car wouldn't move. They didn't spin at all. So again. I'm happy they are right.
In a few weeks I will have 2 more full chassis built to be tested. Pm me if your interested in testing one for me. Will need to sort an agreement out with you if you do.

Massive long shot. I'm after some tungsten weights for my rock crawler. Around 9.5mm my 11mm. Thanks guys

So with the hangers. It places a set of weights below the axle hight of the car. Making its cog as low as possible and putting weight right where you want it most. The tyres. And. It having the weight high up.
So picture of the full car is a single weight hanger for a stock beadlock style wheel. It drops a small amount of weights just below the axle. This helps wth cog a little.
The extreme version is the picture of parts of a wheel. This version cuts out a section of the wheel and gives space to hang a bigger amount of weights right down inside the wheel. Dropping cog as low as possible.
The last 2 pictures show the 2 style of wheels I have designed. The full wheel is a more standard wheel. It has 2 faces. And 6 spacers to join the 2 faces together. Giving a open space of around 44mm. The other wheel is the extram version. It has the spacers removed and pushed down inside the wheel. This gives me around 75mm of space to put a weight hanger in. Giving twice the amount of weight even lower in the wheel. Giving the best cog and tyre weight possible. We don't run any weight in the wheels. As this is the worst type of weight to have. The hangers are fixed to the axles eg the ar60 in my case.
